There was a time when Pakistan was quite a large market for Nokia mobiles. Most of the population was fond of Nokia phone due to their durability and sound features. During that time Iphone Smartphone were sold unofficially in Pakistan at a very large scale. This is a recorded fact that though Apple did not operated in Pakistan locally but still it had a following at a very high level in the country. People used Apple for their smart phone needs and had Nokia as a second phone.

What has gone different with this trend? What has changed the preferences of the people? The answer to these questions can be summed up in only one word that is none other than Samsung. This Japanese company has given a very tough time to its competitors like Nokia, LG, Sony Ericson and most of all, the giant Apple. The question that comes to everybody’s mind is that what different does the new comer did to grasp the attentions of the potential customers?

This question can be answered after taking Samsung achievements into account. Today one can see Samsung dominating the smart phone market as well as phone market for usage as a second option. Some of the reasons why Samsung is dominating the cellular phone market are discussed as under.

Economical pricing

Samsung technology launched their smart phone at a comparatively less price. This is of the most dominating factor as this country is under developed and everyone cannot afford to have an Apple smart phone. That can also be a reason that people have switched towards smart phone manufactured by Samsung as they provide it on less prices with latest android technology. This is also a reason that today apart from buying new iphone 4s smart phone people have switched towards Samsung galaxy smart phones or towards Used iPhone Smartphones.

Galaxy craze

Samsung galaxy smart phones have outnumbered all other smart phone brands in Pakistan in the ratio of sales. This is a fact as Samsung provides a wide range of galaxy smart phones with different specifications and pricing.

Adequate branding policy

Samsung has an appropriate branding and promotional policy whenever a new product comes. It advertises its products out n loud to the public emphasizing on the pricing and feature that Samsung is offering. This is not only limited to phone but today Samsung is also featuring is Laptop computer and digital cameras in Pakistan and it is expected that it also would be having a positive response.

Taking these factors under consideration it can be said that in the coming time Samsung will have a much bigger market in Pakistan. In the coming time Samsung will also be having a cool craze of its used products in the market as well. Used Cameras and used computers manufactured by Samsung will also shake the market of cameras and branded computer firms like Dell, HP, ACER and SONY.

The range and pricing smart phones and other phones that Samsung is having at the moment is matchless. Other competitor will have to seriously think about their marketing strategies as today it is not only Samsung with has already threatened their hegemony but Chinese mobile firms are also coming up with many different mobile models over the year. A big example is Q Mobiles Company which is also having a big market in Pakistan.

Pakistan is one of those very few countries who faced Information technology revolution. Today Pakistan’s urban areas are fully equipped with state of the art technology. And every new technology that is being introduced worldwide hits Pakistan as well. Though Pakistan stand out in the race of per capita cell phone usage internationally but when it comes to smart phones Pakistan still lacks the charm. Internationally the boom of smart phones has touched 79% approximately. But Pakistan where approximately 104 million mobile phone connections are active and approximately having the cell phone density up to 65% is still far behind in Smartphone grabs with only 5% density. This low penetration of smart phones across the Pakistan is due to so many factors.

Lack of local carrier’s interest

If we make comparison of Pakistan with any EU country or Britain than there is some enormous price differences between us. Over there all the cell phones are fully adopted by mobile phone carriers and every individual can acquire them on contract basis. An Iphone Smartphone or any of Nokia mobiles cost almost $200 or less, which is approximately 18000 PKR. But here in Pakistan no Smartphone which is 4G and having a latest platform like android, or IOS cost less than 50K. Now that’s a stretch. People do not afford buying brand new smart phones here because they are too expensive, and carriers do not take much interest in this business model as they think that culture in Pakistan does not allow this. Though some companies like Zong, and ufone have taken the first step for this type of cell phone penetration and mobilink also time to time launch different Blackberry models for business class users, but this business model did not had any immense response from public.

No 3G installation

Another big reason for low penetration of smart phones in Pakistan is the lack of 3G networks availability in Pakistan. Most of the smart phones are data centric and give best use with high network data centers. But in Pakistan most of the people haven’t even heard of 3G network and when they grab a cell phone they really don’t know how and why to use it. Though Samsung Mobiles have recently launched a new line of smart phones in Pakistan, and it is also getting subtle response too but in order to increase the numbers it would require more efforts and more time.

Classic culture

Then another factor that is somewhat stopping this smart penetration in Pakistan is lack of interest on touch screens and elegant mobile devices. Well I am talking about majority here, they do not believe on having a cell phone which is not physically very rigid and strong. And the biggest reason of this perception is made by Nokia Mobiles, who were the first market entrants here.
Keeping all these things in mind so many big giants like apple, Vodafone and some other companies have not touched Pakistani market yet and launched here officially. But without any doubt Pakistani market is one of the biggest potential markets for any Smartphone manufacturer. And I am not saying this out of the blue if we look around we would see so many people using iphone, and other smart phones which obviously are unofficial versions but still there is a particular niche market in Pakistan which would love to have more and more smart phone companies coming here.

Pakistani mobile phone market is one of the most competent markets. Though the history of mobile phones in Pakistan is not very old. But the market is completed saturated with big players like Nokia mobiles etc. If we go 2 to 3 years back so it seems back then that there is no capacity for any company to come here and do business. But in recent times a new company came in and apparently is currently dominating the market just like any other company do. It is none other than Qmobiles. Nobody ever predicted that Qmobiles would succeed in Pakistani market. And some experts even thought that it will be another entrant in Pakistan like Chinese mobile. But surprisingly it happened absolutely opposite of this and nowadays we can identify so many people living around us using Qmobiles like any other brand. In this article I will be discussing some very basic reasons that make them successful in Pakistan.

Very Affordable

The very first reason is that they are incredibly affordable. Pakistan is a country where large number of people does have a wish to keep a cell phone, but they do not afford a good cell phone and unlike other countries they do not have carriers who provide contract based cell phones. As a matter of fact if we search out the market you will realize that how expensive cell phones are there in the market. A good Sony Ericson Phone or an Iphone Smartphone is not affordable for all of us. But Qmobiles on the other hand is very inexpensive. Nobody including me ever imagined that a full equipped Android Smartphone can be bought in as low as 7k. Qmobiles have recently launched a complete range of android smart phones which is getting immense response in Pakistan because of their quality and price.

Authorize Support Centers

Another big reason for Qmobiles success is its local repair and warranty system. Mobile phones are very sensitive technology and they are very likely to have problems, and if you are using any international mobile phone brand that you most likely have to get it done from an unauthorized or semi-authorized repair shop. But if you have a Qmobiles, and there is anything occur to it you can get it done locally from an authorize repair lab, whether your phone is in warranty or not.

Comprehensive Product line

Another big reason for their success is that they have a very big and comprehensive product line, which almost covers every type of user in Pakistan. We can differentiate people living in Pakistan on the basis of classes, likes and dislikes etc. Qmobiles seems to be considering every class and every possible like and dislike. By collaborating with Swarovski crystal and Yamaha they have launched two cell phones, one which were completely targeting females and got very intense response as well, and another which was completely designed for music lovers with an in built Yamaha music player. Apart from smart phones and these specifically designed phones they have a very cheap line as well which is very affordable for all the lower middle class. E786 is one of the most famous phones when it comes to cheap mobile phones. While concluding this all I would say that without any doubt Qmobiles came up with a sustainable strategy. And judging from this success I would say that in future we can predict more companies coming in.

We are living in 21st century. A century of technology and rapidity. Whatever we want to do, some kind of apparatus is always there to accompany us. We are surrounded by machines and gadgets. And the best part is we enjoy living in this era. Whatever we do, we don’t feel thrilled until of unless there is some machine or gadget involved in it. We all daily watch TV, we daily use computer, we daily use ovens, etc. So the crux of the story is that we are bundled with machines all around. That shows our unconditional love towards machines. But as I have said that this is 21st century the more we love gadgets the more they are available in market. And sometimes it gets impossible for us to choose between different types gadgets that how to buy them. Here are few tips by using which you can buy the best gadget.

Look inside your pocket:

First thing first, what is the first thing that you consider while buying anything? Yes, that’s price. Because it is directly linked with your budget. You first think that how much you should spend on whatever you are planning to buy. For example you want to buy a home appliances , and more specifically you want to buy a television. The first thing you should know about is that which brand is coming in your budget bracket. And then you should consider that what that brand is offering. If you are satisfied with the number of offerings. Then it’s the best case scenario. But if it does not then you should see the offering of that brand which comes slightly above your price bracket. And if that’s suits you, you must increase your budget bracket a little. Because it is giving you the value for money. And another tip in this regard is that try to search products online because sometimes you can find best deals on the websites where people buy & sell new and used home appliances , gaming devices, Mobile phone accessories etc.

What people are saying about it?

The other thing while buying a gadget you should consider is the product review. If you have selected a brand or a product out of so many brands you must know that how much people rate it. There is a huge community on internet which works entirely on writing reviews of different gadgets. And the buyer can easily have a very good idea about the product’s features and how those features work by reading the reviews. E.g. if you want to buy a gaming device and you have decided to buy a certain brand you must know that what people are saying about this certain brand. There is another benefit of reading reviews, buyer get to know about the product’s detailed functionality.

Does it have warranty?

The other thing that every buyer should keep in mind is that your gadget must have warranty. Warranty is considered very essential when we talk about gadgets. Sometimes what happened is that we buy a product but after a while it loses its certain functionality. And repairing it locally can snatch its quality and resale value. But if your product is with warranty your product would be repaired by the professional and authorized Lab of the respective company. And your product would not lose its quality, functionality, or resale value. No matter you are buying a new product or a used product always prefers products that have certain warranty to provide you safety.

Whenever we step out of our dwelling we have to take so many gadgets with us, such as calculator, camera, music players, gaming devices, laptop, internet devices, mobile phone and many other things. Sometimes it is not easy to take so many things and their chargers or accessories, with us, especially when one travelling and when there is no place to charge our cameras, laptop and gaming devices etc. But now I have a solution for all these problems. Would you like to know what I do?

I only keep one gadget with me that serve the purpose of all the other gadgets that I need. I don’t take a separate calculator, jotter, ‘Things to do’ notepad, phone book, pocket calendar, camera, pocket internet device or dongle, laptop and other things. What I take with me is just a mobile phone and a charger. However, if I am going somewhere by my car then I don’t even take the charger. I use a car charger for my mobile phone to keep it full of juice. It saves me from getting late as I do not have to run around the house finding my things and making sure that I have not forgot anything before leaving my place.

There is no need to buy a camera!

One is likely to forget taking extra memory cards, charger along with the camera when going out. For instance, last year I went on three months vacations. Unfortunately, I forgot taking the charger along with me. I only managed to take a few snaps and shoot just an hour video that the battery became low and I could not locate any shop from where I could purchase another charger for my Nikon camera.

On my return, I sold my camera and used mobile and bought a used iPhone Smartphone! The iPhone was not that expensive and since it was previously used, it had many of my favourite songs and mobile apps. Isn’t it a nice idea of saving money?

What about Professional photography?

Mobile phones like iPhone Smartphone and BlackBerry handsets are equipped with nice cameras that provide excellent photography functions and results. So there is no need to have a separate camera when we can take photos and capture videos by using a Smartphone. Now you must be wondering that professional cameras sensor is more powerful than that of mobile phones. Not any more, as PureView a latest Nokia Mobile features a 41 mega-pixel camera. Yes, the PureView mobile phone’s camera is a lot powerful, far better than many professional cameras available in the market.

Mobile phones can be your internet device:

We do not need a separate internet device when we can use the internet on our mobile phone. It is easy to take photos and upload them on Facebook via mobile phone, instead of taking photos and then transferring them to laptop pr desktop PCs through a data cable and then upload them on the social networking websites.

Watch TV on your mobile:

Do you often miss your favourite TV shows when you are on the go? I used to refuse to accompany my family when they used to go out as I didn’t want to miss my TV shows. But now I can watch TV on my mobile so I have no problem is going along with them. I watch the shows while travelling on the road and also on the train.

Can your Laptop fit your pocket? My mobile phone does!

My smart phone has all that a computer has to offer. I do not use a laptop as it not easy to carry it everywhere I go. My mobile phone fits my pocket and I take it wherever I am. I can read and reply my emails, view my files, browse the internet and do everything that people do on a laptop.

Are you going to start photography? Do you like capturing all your happy moments with a camera, especially when you go on a trip or attend an event? Perhaps you will also like to share the photographs with your near and dear ones on the social networking websites such as Facebook, twitter, Google Plus, Orkut and MySpace etc. Do you get confused when you go to the market for buying a perfect camera that fits your need? If this is the case, then you have landed on the right web-page!
Here we will tell you about all the cameras that a novice, an amateur or a professional photographer can buy to get started with photography.

Capture your happy moments
Do you remember the old times when you had a camera which only took still photographs and was not capable of shooting videos? Are you still using one of these cameras? If yes then it’s a time to change, as the still and disposable cameras are relics of the past. The latest cameras come with bath video and still photography function.You can capture all the happy moments and share them with your family and friends if you have a good camera with you whenever you go on a trio or attend any interesting event. For a beginner, Nikon D3100 is a perfect choice. This Nikon camera is an upgraded version of Nikon D3000. It comes with a good CMOS sensor. The Nikon D3100 digital SLR camera is an easy-to-use device having 14.2-megapixel and many other great features.
There is a misconception that good digital cameras are expensive. Novice does not usually buy the newly released model of cameras. They save money by getting a used camera or buy brands such as Genx and Canon.

Suitable cameras for novice professional photographersYou can start earning money by starting photography as a profession. To begin with this, you can get choose for any of the following Nikon cameras:
• Nikon J1 and V1 are two latest Nikon cameras which come with Interchangeable Lens. Nikon J1 is a 12-megapixel camera while Nikon V1 is 10.1. These cameras are ideal for capturing photographs.
• Nikon Coolpix AW100 Camera is a shockproof and water proof camera which is idea for under-water photography. It features NAVTEQ and GPS Support
• Nikon D300S is also a great camera for professionals, albeit it is an old model of Nikon camera but it offer best results and can easily be purchased for a store that sells used cameras at a budget-friendly price.

Do you want a 41 mega pixel camera?Do you find it hard to carry numerous gadgets and devices when you go out? If yes then how about buying a mobile phone which has an in-built camera with powerful sensor? In my view, Nokia 808 PureView is a nice replacement to professional camera. It is equipped with Carl Zeiss Optics lens with 8.02mm focal length. The best thing about this camera is that it features 41 mega-pixel sensors with pixel oversampling. Nokia 808 PureView provides full zoom capability at a shooting distance of 15cm and provides excellent great magnification of small objects with full zoom. You can take poster size photos with this mobile phone. Unlike professional cameras, Nokia PureView easily fits in one’s pocket and can be taken everywhere. Nokia PureView is equipped with Nokia Rich Recording which offers stereo audio recording around 140-145 db, which is 4 times louder than ca conventional mic can record. Are you impressed by Nokia PureView and cannot wait to get your hands on it? Unfortunately, Nokia has not released this mobile phone yet and you will have to wait for some months.
